I have been so excited to get this second issue out for you all to have a look at. We were over the moon with what we accomplished with the first issue but that didn’t stop us taking a long hard look at our work as we constantly strive to improve wherever possible, I really hope you like the changes.

As well as a whole new look, an extra feature has now been added to the publication called ‘Flawed Featured’. This comprises of two photographers, Carla Pires (Page 56) and Morgan Macleod (Page 64) this time around, going head to head for a bit of friendly competition but also a celebration of how different creative minds can be. Both photographers receive the same title for a shoot and then they create a series of photographs based on the title, it is amazing how contrasted the two shoots are, this just goes to show we all see things differently and how amazing is that, we are all unique and can bring our own thing to the table.

In addition we still have our usual three categories, ‘Fashion Editorial’ (Page 6), ‘Natural Beauty’ (Page 82) and ‘INTIMA-SEE’ (Page 130). We have been blown away by the quality of the shoots that have been submitted to us and choosing the selection for the magazine was no walk in the park. With limited pages unfortunately some shoots that we really love didn’t make printed magazine but fortunately we also have a digital platform where the majority of these shoots will also be uploaded to give them and their creative teams the credit that they are due for all of their hard work and talent.

Finally, not forgetting the backbone to this magazine, the interviews. Firstly, who doesn’t love Disney, I’m sure Aladdin is a favourite for many of you. The new West End Show has just opened in London during the creation of this issue and we were lucky enough to get to talk to dancer Katie Singh (Page 46) about her amazing story of landing a job in the hit show but also how this never came to be, let’s just say persistence is key.

Do you ever listen to a song and think, ‘wow, that person has literally gone through the same situation as me’, of course you have, well we caught up with a brand new, but undeniably talented singer/songwriter, Emi McDade (Page 72) who does just this. Life is always one of the best inspirations for creativity.

Lastly, but by no means not least we have Antonia Nae (Page 122). Born in Romania, graduated this year from the University of East London, Antonia is taking the fashion industry by storm; she has recently just won the ‘Lipsy Red Carpet Award’ at this year’s Graduate Fashion Week but a year ago she was not designing the style of clothing she is now, find out what changed and led her to dominate the catwalk with her creations.

​

I really hope that you enjoy the content and have found some new talented creative’s to check out; work has already commenced on issue 3 and even though it seems a long way off we may have some other surprises in store for you in the mean time, I guess only time will tell, but for now, sit back, relax and enjoy some amazing creative work from all around the world…
